It is way cooler if we flip that over and made it a female. With Priyanka, everything is considered, every little detail is considered.”
Although, Baywatch disappointed at the box office but Priyanka impressed the critics
Baywatch made its debut in theaters on May 29, 2017. It was helmed by Seth Gordon and featured Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, Priyanka Chopra, and Dwayne Johnson in leading roles.

Notedly, though that the movie wasn’t half-bad for Priyanka Chopra as her first Hollywood movie, even when critics didn’t have much good to say over the movie itself. The actress had impressed them with her acting chops, and talent. In turn, the Quantico star turned out to be the one shining light for the production.
Meanwhile, she last appeared in a Hollywood production in 2021, with Keanu Reeves in
The Matrix Resurrections. She also featured in the rom-com with Sam Heughan. Currently, the actress has Heads of State with John Cena and Idris Elba.
